Course

Single-Molecule Spectroscopy and Imaging

Catalog Number: Chem 280

Theoretical and experimental techniques necessary to achieve single-molecule sensitivity in laser spectroscopy: interaction of radiation with spectroscopic transitions; systematics of signals, noise, and signal-to-noise; modulation and imaging methods; and analysis of fluctuations; applications to modern problems in biophysics, cellular imaging, physical chemistry, single-photon sources, and materials science.  Prerequisite: Graduate Quantum Mechanics
